LIVE GAME Round 6 v Knights

[Tucker]

Twal is playing so well, that’s it almost infuriating. Where has this been for the last 7 or 8 years? What could have been.

Is he really doing a lot differently?
He has always put in for us.

 

[Betterdays22]

That’s what I mean when I say he is finally improving.

It was now or never really

 

[HUNT 101]

I second this notion.

Hahaha lose ? along time ago this word would come up a lot ,but these days sorry 🤔. .Not something I'm familiar with.😂😂😂

Confidence with his fellow forwards , May , Pole , Hunt all going well and he also has to very good back rowers doing lots of defence

 

[Stevec]

No.
It’s true, but he is improving finally.
This isn’t a well drilled team by a long shot.

Think your a bit harsh
Today our line speed exceptional and we averaged 51.4 meters per set that's extremely high number
Scored 8 tries plus Makasini dubious one disallowed
Knights first try was a no try ,2nd one a gift from Skelton
3rd and 4th in last 5 mins where we switched off a bit
Yes that switch off not acceptable

 

[Charred]

3 IN A ROW!!! and we did it at CAMPBELLTOWN???? If this is a dream please don’t wake me up 😍😍😍😍😍😍

 

[TigerBurnsy]

Ultimate NRL weekend. Souffs lost, Slime lost, Tigers won.

And storm lost

We aren’t talking about just one game.he will be judged on how the whole year goes.
It’s been a decent start.

 

[davey_farrell]

Did anyone get the crowd figure?

At least 18,000 for sure 😊?

Just under 16k

 

[Moh]

Another one we wouldn't have won in the past.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Jock Madden is my favourite player right now. And it was cemented when he gave Skelton a serve for a poor missed tackle. What a man, what a general.

 

[innsaneink]

Not many Newcastle supporters in the crowd from what I saw on the 9 coverage, strange they are usually pretty good travelling fans, especially when their team is riding high.

🤔 Maybe the fuel crisis has a part to play in that.

I only saw one sid foggs bus in the carpark

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He has always put in for us.

Putting in is one thing. The affect he’s having is another. He’s an animal.

 

[Moh]

And Patrick Herbert is exactly the centre I love for us - no frills, dependable. Nice debut, happy for him.

They used to travel everywhere. They’d buses full. You don’t really hear about it anymore.

Our 4 young Macca seems to me to have lost his confidence , each run he looks like he is hurt when getting up to play he ball, he needs to go back to reserves and build up again, if May is ready next week swap them . This is not a pick on the kid he just looks a bit lost

Can’t help but think we showed our hand with him in the trials and teams have been targeting him ever since. He never seems to have any room to move when he receives the ball. Been playing at centre too after playing so well on the wing, so that’s probably had an effect also.

 

[Tucker]

Yeah I guess if he had a pack like this the whole time we’d have a clearer picture.
I never bought into the plodder tag he had. He consistently defended at near 100% and tried to get as many meters as he could. He looks great this year and I thought he was excellent last year as well.
You could argue we stunted his career.

 

[Dr_Ice]

We have completely dominated the Knights and not received one 6 to go. This guy is the worst ref in the NRL and that is saying something. Poor Wyatt is horrible

I prefer this to Sutton and Klein who give 15 six to go per game, most of which you have no idea what for.

 

[upthetigers]

Gosh I hope big Roycey doesn't get charged there wasn't much in it

I reckon Benji will either rest him next week or put him out on the wing, with an outside back on the bench.

 

[upthetigers]

Can someone post a photo of the initial contact with Royce's high tackle?
